As q result Of the hixh price Of hogs
and hog products we may EXPECT an
other exhibition Of one of the leading
traits Of American farmers. viz. thai
81 gong to extremes. II the prevail
ing prices continue for six months
there viii be . grand rush Of farmers
INTO swine-growlng. and . neglect Of
swine.
This class Of farmers work As though
prices would always be as high as now.
Iney do not stop 70 consider how easy
u y 70 reach over-production, or how
many points are 70 be thought OF that
send 20 cause q surplus. The high
prices OF hog meats viii have . tend
eney In itself TO reduce consumption.
Inc condition Of laboFing men has also
much 20 do with the demand for this
KIND OF meat. There Is q prevailing
Deiief with them that they cannot do
heavy work without bacon, but when
on from work the demand is shortened
and At once, on account OF their man
ner OF living from day TO day. Every
heavy and prolonged strike affects the
demand for hog meats. not only on the
markets, but OF the swine in the hands
o. the farmers in process of prepare
ton. The swine plague has not yet
been so bad, notwithstanding its raw
ages, IS to curtal the belief that there
may be an oyer-production. Many
that rush 10 hogs will find that they
nave done II TO their sorrow, for they
viii find too much company on the
same road.
II you have your farm well sup
piled with other classes OF stock, do
not sacrifice them 70 give the pig a
chance. 1t costs too much to make |
the change. You will have to buy 1
your breeding stock at a high price, |
and much that you eel will be at ru-
nous figure.
This rush to swine will cause farm 1
ers TO increase their corn area, nsces-
stating the blowing Of land now in
grass that should not under any cir 4
,umstances be broken up. But expe-
Renee teaches that the farmer on clay |
ands IS affected by the mania to change
IS well as his neighbors on the rich
bottom lands.

Col. Walkers Fight Hopeless.

Speclal 10 the Gl0De.
WASHINGTON, Nov. est is as un-
pleasant to write as it will be unpalata-
BILE fer his friends to read-but it is not
believed here tonight that Col. Platt
Walker has much show for the door
keepership of the house. Even the men
who have spoken fair, and induced Col.
Walker and his friends to believe that
they will support and vote for him, are
found to be committed to other candi-
dates. Indeed, it is well known that
the leaders of the hOuse-Such men as
Randall, Holman, Carlisle, Springer,
Mills, and others who stand well up
with length of service and potency of
direction-are for DOnelson, the present
incumbent. Col. Morrison, of Illinois,
is as influential as ever, although no
longer member of the body. Walker,
Hurt and other candidates have their
friends; but, when Carlisle expresses a
friendly regard for man, the new
members who have their places on COM
mittees to get from the speaker pay due
regard for his preferences, That is but
natural. Col. Morrison will have con-
siderable to say to the speaker in the
matter of committee formation and tariff
legislation. His voice for DOnelson is
also needed whenever heard. Conse-
Quently it is but the publication of ac-
tual fact, and disagreeable fact, that
Col. Walker is not likely to succeed in
his laudable ambition.

The Welch-Vilas Case.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 2S.-Pursuant
to an order issued by the circuit court a
week ago MessrS. Tenny & Bashford
to-day filed their affidavits with regard
to the missing papers wanted by Will
lam Welch to prove the truth of his
statements in regard to Postmaster Gen
eral Villas. Tenny in his affidavit
claims that he was not a member of the
firm at the time of the disappearance
of the papers, and was therefore re-
lieved of any responsibility. BashfOrd,
in his, states that he is unable to find
the papers, but says he thinks he can
produce them if given plenty of time
He was given until Dec. 10 to produce
them, and if they are not forthcoming
then proceedings will probably be COM
menced to show why he should not be
prosecuted for contempt.

The RAILWAY WORLD,
ALI the Roads Restore Old
Rates on Lumber to Da-
kota Points.
Report That Passenger Rates
Have Been Cut From st.
Paul to Chicago.
The Northern Pacific Makes
Same Rates to Butte AS
to Helena.
The Grand Trunk and the
Trunk Lines Still Fight
ing Over Rates.

Several weeks ago the Milwaukee e
st. Paul, being dissatisfied with the
course of the Northern Pacific and the
Manitoba in regard to the rates of lum-
ber between Duluth, Minneapolis and
Dakota points, threatened to and did,
finally, make cut. The Milwaukee &
st. Paul threatened to make another,
but several weeks rolled by and no cut
followed. Instead of cut a meeting
was held at the Northern Pacific head
quarters in st. Paul. This meeting was
attended by j. G. Boyden, of the Mil
waukee & st. Paul, and representatives
of the other roads interested. At this
meeting it was agreed to return to the
old rates, which are good deal higher.
To this proceeding very serious Objec-
tiOns were made by shippers, as it was
claimed that these rates were 3311s per
cent higher than those in force in
Michigan. A protest against this re-
turn to the old rates was prepared and
sent to the railroad commissioners, and
is now before them for consideration.
Whether or not shippers will insist
upon a hearing and endeavOr to have
the roads reduce the rates to fair and
equitable basis is the question.

girls from the Seminal office bindery
found shelter in the Journal office.
They were greatly excited and could
not tell how they escaped the flying
bricks and plaster. At about IL o'clock
the dead body of Mrs. E. NJ. Gage. sec
Ond cook, was taken from the ruins and
removed to the mOrgue. The monetary
loss will amount to about $1,000. The
explosion occurred in that portion of
the kitchen range known as the water
back, which was about twenty inches
long and foot square. Water passed
through this from the supply pipe and
was heated, going out through another
pipe to the boiler. The supply pipe was
frozen. and plumbers had been working
at it all the morning trying to thaw it
out. 1t is supposed that the water got
so low in this water back that it turned
into steam so rapidly that an explosion
followed. There is section of
walltorn for about forty feet square,
including what was the kitchen
and some of the rooms occupied by the
help on the floors above. Besides this
direct damage half the windows in the
house are broken and many of the par
titiOnS badly wrecked.

Sahfn's Horses Injured.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Sa-
bin arrived here last night and will
leave for Boston this evening to be pres
ent at the reorganization of the North
western Car company. He says he
knows nothing about the wrangle among
the Democrats over the few offices still
to be distributed in Minnesota. At
present he is running the car works and
has his hands full. The senator shipped
his horses to Washington by freight last
week but is not likely to enjoy their use
as much this winter as last. He re-
ceived dispatch this morning notifying
him that the car in which they were
shipped was wrecked somewhere be-
tween Harrisburg and Washington.
One of the horses is dead as result.
He knows nothing about the condition
of the others,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Indications of Great Tension
Pending Grevy's Resignation.

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-The congress of the
senate and chamber of deputies will
meet OH Friday at Versailles to elect a
successor to President Grevy. President
t1revy's message of resignation will be
short. He will disclaim all response
bility for the consequences of his retire
ment. Elections were held yesterday
in AuXerre, Arras and Lille to fill va
cancies in the chamber of deputies. In
Auxerre the Radical candidate, NJ. Her
yier, was successful, polling 30,674 votes
against 1878 for NJ. Regner, Oppor
tTnist. In lArras. NJ. Camecasse, Repub-
liean, was elected, his vote being $1,000
against Il 600 for NJ. Labitte, COnserva-
tive. In Lille there were two vacan-
ciest TO fill and the Republican candi-
dates were successful in both cases.
The vote was as follows: NJ. Pierre
Iegrand and NJ. Maxine LeeOmte,
Republicans, 145,000: NJ. Delesalle
and NJ Fauville, Conservatives, 123.000.
The COmte de Paris and the Due d.
Aumale have been interviewed at Lon
don regarding the French crisis. The
Due d'Aumale said that the republic
was dying of decomposition. The hope
of the OrleanistS was in dissolution of
the chambers. The present govern
ment had only 100000 majority at the
last election. This could easily be
overcome. The Orleanists would never
sneak into power. They would enter
France by the front door. The COmte
de Paris acquiesced in these utterances.
In the chamber of deputies to-day NJ.
Rouvier moved for an adjournment of
the house until Thursday, at the same
time stating that the government would
ifien make an important cOmmunica-
tion. n. Clemenceau, in an interview
with NJ. FlOquet. pointed the inadvisa-
bility of dividing the Radical vote be-
tween VI. Floquet and M. de Freycinet.
NJ. FlOquet replied that he neither de-
sired to offer himself as candidate for
the presidency nor refuse to stand for
that office. He left himself. he said, in
the hands of his friends, who were en-
tirely responsible. Prominent Orlean-
lists who have just returned from En-
gland Indignantly deny that the Orlean
isf party is in any way responsible for
the forgeries revealed by the Cologne
Gazette.
M. Deroulede declared that he will
. convert the Patriotic league into revO-
mtionary society if NJ. Ferry is elected

The Fight Is Still On.

New YORK, Nov. 2S.-There is vet no
settlement of the fight between the
trunk line pool and the Grand Trunk
over the rates on dressed meats and live
stock. Commissioner Fink to-day an
nOunced another reduction in rates to
meet the Grand Trunks last cut. This
schedule is as follows, the rates being
reckOned on the 100 weight from Chi
cago to New York: Dressed beef,
dressed sheep and articles loaded in re-
frigeratOr ears with dressed beef, 3415
cents; dressed hogs in refrigerator cars,
341% cents; dressed hogs in common
cars, BIZ cents: live cattle, 1S19 cents;
live sheep, 81 cents. The new schedule
goes into effect Immediately.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The Chicago &
Grand Trunk opened the week to-day
with another reduction in the dressed
meat rates. bringing them down to 3414
cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to
Boston and New England points. The
competing roads met, but the Pennsyl-
vania line refused to reduce its rates
below 4215 cents. where they stopped
also virtually dropped out by withhold
ing it's vote. The Vanderbilt lines and
the Chicago & Atlantic met the reduc-
ton of the Chicago d Grand Trunk with
the exception of to Pittsburg, it being
agreed that rates to that point should
be held up to 2311s cents, which is on the
basis of 4215 cents to New York. There
is an impression among the majority of
railway officials here that the fiercest of
the fight is over and that rates will not
go much lower. An attempt was made
to-day to induce the Chicago Il Grand
Trunk to agree not to put in lower rates
on export business VIA Montreal to Bos-
ton, providing the central traffic roads
would allow it to make difference In
its favor of cents on provisions, and 2
cents on flour via Portland. Me. The
Chicago & Grand Trunk would not as
sent to this. but stated that it would
give association lines ten days notice
of any change in Boston rates. This
was not satisfactory. and the association
roads referred the matter to the Eastern
trunk lines for settlement.

BALTIMORE & OHIO.
A Positive Statement That Spen.
Ger Will Be the Next President.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.-Baltimore 6,
Ohio stock closed at lis bid on Satur-
day. This evening the closing quota
ton was sales at 104. The explanation
given by brokers of this big drop is that
the rumOr was rife that there was a
lack of harmony among the directors
as to who should be president, and that
eX-President Garrett intended to be
candidate again for that office. An in
quiry among the directors shows that
they are all of one mind on the subject
of the presidency, and that Samuel
Spencer will be elected to
that office. Nothing could be
more foolish" said one director,
''than that Garrett wanted to be presi-
dent again. He resigned, is out Of
office, and was anxious to get out, and
could not be induced to take the cares
of the Office upon his shoulders again.
Just such silly people also say that SEN
atOr German is to be president of the
Baltimore d Ohio. The stock directors
all want Spencer, so does the syndicate.
The large stockholders outside of the
CARROTS want him, and it's all settled;
Spencer will be the next president Of

THE RAWsON SCANDAL.
An Ex-Husband Comes to the Aid
of His Former Wife.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Tbe martial
troubles of Banker Stephen W. Rawson
and his wife are once more brought to
public attention by the publication of a
letter tc Mrs. RawsOn from her second
husband Charles q. Lee. The .letter
reads:
Nov. IS, 1887, Mrs. NJ. l.. Raws0n-
Dear Madam: [ have just learned OF
your sad troubles and write to interfere
for the protection of your and my child,
A clipping from the New York World
mailed to me states that your husband,
Mr.. Rawson. alleges that your marriage
to me was illegal and therefore our off
spring is illegitimate. That certainly
is very cowardly thrust, and | cannot
conceive why Mr. RawsOn should resort
to such a method to blight the name Of
pure and innocent child like little Dot.
You certainly have the certificate of the
Judge at New Orleans, where your di-
vorce from Slaymaker was obtained,
The records of August, 1915, in the
clerks Office at Louisville, Will show
that our marriage license was regular.
Had [ not been addicted to
habits too extremely cOnviviai, be-
lieve it would never have been neces-
sary for me to offer protection to my
child ana It's mother III guarding their
honor. The purity of your wifely rela-
tions to me during our welded career
not only entitle you to my protection,
but also to the sympathy of the public
when your character is assailed. My
heart goes out to Willie, whom | loved
and treated q believe he will admit iD
as my own child. Tell him for me to
bear up manfully, and not to fear that q
Chicago Jury will condemn him for pro-
tecting the honor and good name of his
mother and little sister. Give my love
to my dear little girl, and tell her that
her father lives to protect and shield
her with his life. Yours truly,
CHARLES q. LEE"
Mrs. Rawson's attorney says Lee is a
desperate man, and hints that he may
COME to Chicago and make it warm for
the banker, who has not yet recovered
from the wounds inflicted by Ralph
William Lee, his stepSOn.

Gould Wants to Sell.

Special TO the Globe. |
WASHINGTON, Nov 2s.-The fact that
several members of the lobby are taking
especial pains to lead the conversation
of their associates and acquaintances
iutO a discussion of the subject of postal
telegraphy has its significance. Invari-
ably they wind up with a patriotic as
Sertion that jay Gould is a 1lagrant
monopOlist, and the government ought
to buy up his lines and enact a law
which will prevent the growth of such
a monopoly in this country" These
fellows are no novices. They are shrewd
and put their work in with rapier,
rather than with battle axe. But.
skillful though they be, their scheme is
transparent. Mr.. Gould will be greatly
disappointed if the government does not
denOunce him and buy his lines. That
is the scheme which his faithful sex
planners" are working.

sides the foregoing there were during
the year 135 casualties to smaller crafts,
such as sail boats, row boats, ETC., on
which there were 274 persons, 271 of
whom were saved. An unusual number
of snow storms; and the prevalence of
fOgS made the operations of the service
more than commonly difficult and
dangerous, but nevertheless the
station crews succeeded i'll saving a
much greater number of lives and a
larger amount of property than ever be-
fore, in some instances performing featS
of unparalleled enterprise and daring.
The following table gives summary of
the statistics of the service from the in
PRODUCTION of the present system in 1871
to the close of the fiscal year: Total
number of disasters, 1852; total value

Total number of persons involved, 3d.
427: saved "a, SS3: lost, 54i. The loss of
life, as stated above, includes 1873 per-
sons lost at the wrecks of the steamers
Huron and Metropolis. and also four
teen other persC Ms really not chargea6le
to the service, leaving the total number
of lives lost during the sixteen years of
the existence of the system only 347 out
of over $4,000 involved. New stations
were completed and put into commits
sion during the year at Frankfort, Pent-
water, White River, Holland, South
Haven and Sturgeon Bay canal on Lake
Michigan. The general superintendent
recommends the establishment of sta
tiOnS at Ashtabula, Oh Lake Erie, and
Marquette, on Lake Superior. Measures
are in progress for the improvement of
the service on the Pacific, a commission
of officers being now engaged upon that
coast with this view.
